[OMPI users] does OpenMPI started deprecating udapl support

2009-12-30 Thread Nilesh Awate
Hi all, I am new to Open MPI mailing list. Just started using it for our proprietary interconnect which uses uDAPL1.2 as underling network. As our experience with other open source MPI2 implementation libraries, they are deprecating udapl ADI. and giving more n more support/enhancement to gen2

2009-12-30 Thread Daniel Spångberg
Dear OpenMPI list, I have used the dynamic rules for collectives to be able to select one specific algorithm. With the latest versions of openmpi this seems to be broken. Just enabling coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules causes the code to segfault. However, I do not provide a file with rules, sin

Interesting. I found your issue before I sent my report, but I did not realise that this was the same problem. I see now that your example is really for openmpi 1.3.4++ Do you know of a work around? I have not used a rule file before and seem to be unable to find the documentation for how t

The only workaround that I found is a file with dynamic rules. This is an example that George sent me once. It helped for me, until it will be fixed. " Lenny, You asked for dynamic rules but it looks like you didn't provide them. Dynamic rules allow the user to specify which algorithm to be used

Thanks for the help with how to set up the collectives file. I am unable to make it work though, My simple alltoall test is still crashing, although I added even added a line specifically for my test commsize of 64 and 100 bytes using bruck. daniels@kalkyl1:~/.openmpi > cat mca-params.conf

Hi Ilya Well, many possibilities to explain the error have been discarded already. Another long shot: Have you tried to set the processor affinity? Not sure how it would work on Xeons. We have AMD processors here, and setting processor affinity does help performance, on HPL and other programs. I
